just wondering,.. Is 42008 consider a good alternative to 8110 in term of pneumatics?
I have not open my 42008 box yet, so can't provide comparison.
42008 comes with LA (Linear Actuator) and 2x mini-pneumatic.
8110 comes with 2x pneumatic and 1x mini-pneumatic.
Both operates using same mechanism, using M-motor to power up the 6L pump (only exists in 8110 and 42008) for compressed air.
Therefore, on pneymatics alone, 8110 wins in my opinion.
As alternative, yes, I think 42008 as current set is good enough.

I do not own the crawler, but Technic models are definitely not meant to be played outdoors. There's a video from Technic-bricks where they drove their crawler on the beach but they warn people against doing so. This is because dirt/sand might enter into the gearing and grind the gears out. The gears are all plastic and not meant for heavy usage.
This is true for all Technics fans and to have the right expectation.
Most Lego Technics does not move at fast speed, except the one with RC-buggy motor (EOL already).
Also, any metal parts, even though it is coated thin layer, will eventually rust if use outdoor.
Worse are some moving parts like pneumatics cylinder.
Cleaning it up will also be troublesome.

is the ultimate 42009 the one that i shared before?
looks like i'm manage to spread the poison here
let me share the link again
ultimate 42009thanks for the details
looks like a CS is coming soom
nice collection

and thanks for the info
that's even some nice old sets
from your info, The 8110 is the 2nd model to have a compressor after its grandfather 8868 Air-tech claw rig, is that means the 42008 don't have compressor? i thought pneumatic require compressor to work

Yes, the link you shared before (Jurgen's)
Yeah, I'm planning to buy maybe few M-motor, PM

42008 also uses the same air-compressor method as 8110.
Previous Technics sets uses the manual pump method.
